Another NW Iowa County Puts A Burn Ban In Place

October 07, 2020

(Primghar)– Add O’Brien county to the list of counties in northwest Iowa that have banned open burning until further notice. The measure went into affect at 5:00 pm Wednesday.

The ban was issued by the State Fire Marshal at the request of the county’s fire chiefs.

A combination of recent warm temperatures, lack of rainfall and dead vegetation have combined for a very high fire danger throughout the region.
